OBJECTIVE To assess the association of mean outdoor temperature around the time of birth with insulin resistance and coronary heart disease in later life. DESIGN Cross sectional study. SETTING 23 British towns. PARTICIPANTS 4286 women aged 60-79 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Coronary heart disease and insulin resistance. RESULTS Coronary heart disease prevalence was greatest among wome...

The air temperatures inside uninsulated and insulated huts were recorded on an outdoor pig unit in the south of England between September 1997 and September 1998, and the herd's production parameters were also recorded. During the summer the temperatures inside some of the uninsulated huts exceeded 45 degrees C, but the temperatures inside the insulated huts were lower and fluctuated less. Desp...

Low-power wireless networks, especially in outdoor deployments, are exposed to a wide range of temperatures. The detrimental effect of high temperatures on communication quality is well known. In this paper, we use a testbed with self-made temperature control devices to investigate the effects of temperature on several communication-relevant metrics. The analyses both confirm some previously pu...

In this paper, results of a long-term temperature monitoring in a passive solar house, located at the Sede-Boqer Campus of the BenGurion University, in the Negev region of Israel are presented. Local latitude is 30.81N and the elevation is approximately 480m above sea level. The climate of the region is characterized by strong daily and seasonal thermal fluctuations, dry air and clear skies wit...

Abstract Justin Clarke-Doane offers what purports to be a stand-alone argument, relying on Gödel’s second incompleteness theorem, that if we hold PA + Con(PA) and ~ are equally true of their intended subjects, then there is no objective fact as whether consistent. It shown the argument fallacious, although illuminating: The fallaciousness arises from 20 th -century shift in our understanding in...

Marine animals living high in the rocky intertidal zone experience long durations of aerial emersion, sometimes enduring rapid increases in temperature. To date, much of our understanding of the thermal physiology of intertidal organisms comes from studies in which organisms are exposed to increasing temperatures when immersed, with the added effect of aerial emersion rarely considered. In this...

Summertime overheating in care settings has been identified as a key risk and research priority for the health social system. This paper examines current future of summertime two London-based homes occupying modern older buildings. Continuous monitoring outdoor indoor temperature bedrooms, communal areas offices summer 2019 helped to establish prevalence intensity overheating. Dynamic thermal s...

While the first five articles in this Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education and Practice JPI series covered a variety of teaching tools and techniques such as the chalkboard, questioning, drama, board notes, physical models, and demonstrations, the previous issue took a broader view and introduced a model instructional strategy. This strategy provides a conceptual framework th...

By combining cytophotometry with autoradiography, five stages of macronuclear anlagen can be discriminated by their DNA content until the end of the first cell cycle after conjugation in Tetrahymena. DNA increases from 2C to about 32C. Each S-phase is followed by a non-synthetic period. Comparing the mean nuclear DNA content after and before each S-phase revealed that 16C anlagen contain signif...
